It's finally completed! This is my custom designed compact Sonic Screwdriver based on the TV Series Doctor Who! It was a lot of work but in the end I'm very pleased with the results. ^_^ Please excuse the lack of text to the image. I left space for it but I have no means at the moment to put txt in and will do that later when i get home.

In this picture you can see the piece in hand. Right, top corner you can see the sonic held in the proper position with the thumb resting on the cone below the emitter and next to it, the cone is depressed and the sonic is activated. Last shot is the new sonic compared to the classic both sitting next to their respective Tardis Key and as you can see the new one is a true compact Sonic Screwdriver clocking in at 6 inches total.

The smaller blue one? No. I haven't made a video of it yet because that prototype is smaller than the finished piece. The other one next to it is an RB replicas sound sonic and that I know a few people posted a video of.

OK, dude, seriously, I have a life outside DA, I have a job and lots of work to do so I'm not always on. I'm glad you love my work but I get comments constantly so I can't always answer them all right away. Lastly, I'm not obligated to answer every single comment I get nor am I required to answer your comments specifically. Like I said I appreciate that you love my sonics but my day doesn't revolve around answering your or anyone else' comments.

Almost done. They should be shipping from the factory to me on Wednesday. Once they are here I can instal the crystals and return spring and make sure they work properly and then I put them in mailing tubes and ship them out to the buyers once that's done. I posted the pics on my Flickr page but not here yet. [link]

Nope. They are all already sold for one thing, and they also would cost you $195 to buy. XD I don't make them for a hobby, it's how I make some money on the side and of course cover the cost of materials, labor and anodized finishes and shipping ETC... Even my little brass ones I make sell for $130 when I do make them to sell, though they aren't going to be sold again until I figure out some issues with the build.

My goodness this is fantastic! I am looking to make one but I must admit, my design is so crude compared to this! Do you have a tutorial or materials list? I know in your other pics you said you used a "jared axel rod," right? Do you mind to explain a bit more about your parts and process? I'd love to know!

Oh well, this one was made from scratch I'm afraid. I don't have any tutorial because I sketched the design on paper, blueprinted it and had a machinist make it from solid aluminum raw stock. Not much I can say about that really.

The One I based off the Jared Axelrod piece was extensively reworked to fit actual electronics. Jared sort of ummm, used a wooden dowel rod and glued a light in the tip XD My approach took some machining and used a blow torch to solder it together. There's the guts to an LED flashlight inside and some custom switched machined out of steel. I used a drill press to spin the parts and a file to sort of "lathe" them down to fit together. Once I had the parts arranged I used plumbing solder and a blow torch to assemble the sonic so it will be solid. I drilled a hole for the button and arranged the electronics inside to sit where I wanted and epoxied them in place. Wired and LED to the end and fitted it with a lens.

Well, I did make a run of them for sale but they're all sold. So far there's 10 in existence. Unfortunately they are expensive at about $195 each. If I do another run I want to bring the cost down a lot.

No problem, just keep a watch on my journals. ^_^ I always try to let people know when I'll be doing a run of sonic Screwdrivers. I'll be posting a picture of the production pieces as soon as I can so people see how they turn out as well.

Yes. There are indeed plans to produce a number of these. The number is dependent on how many people want one. I'll be taking preorders in the next month or so for these where the price with shipping will be named. It won't cheap but it will be cheaper than any licensed item out there and i can guarantee a better quality too.

Sweet! ^_^ It shouldn't be long now,. I'll post a journal and I'll post a pic in my gallery, both linking back to each other with instructions on how to get on the list. I warn you though it will be more than $100 but less that $200. That's as best a price as I can work out with the manufacturing fees and materials and labor costs as well as a standard shipping fee world wide. We're still working out details till we nail a set price though.

It is but remember, there's a LOT of parts on this, much trickier and more detailed work, like the holes in the cone section and the power couplings and settings dial and the crystal emitter jewel and the part count is way higher. A standard 4th Doctor sonic is like 14 to 16 parts this is 26 individual parts and because it's small size it needs to be made to tight tolerances for some parts. XD I was shocked to learn how much more difficult it was to make this XD The manufacturer that made the prototype needed to purchase and have made s couple bits to make it XD You will be getting what you paid for though. I stand behind that. ^_^
